Ms Emily Logan:

We are not suggesting that the unborn does not have any rights. It is a matter of when we get to the point of competing rights. There is well-established medical practice in this country, dating prior to the 1983 referendum, ofin uterosurgery and prenatal care, for example. That is well-established and there is nothing in international law to prohibit that. We are only referring to a situation of competing rights. This was referenced by Mary O'Toole last week - we are talking about a life and life situation.
